Description

President Rev. Matthew J. Walsh dedicated the World War I Memorial Door on Memorial Day 30 May 1924. A military field mass followed the dedication. Plans for a memorial for Notre Dame's contributions to World War I began in 1919 shortly after the Armistice. Notre Dame architects Francis Kervick and Vincent Fagan designed the work for the east transept of the basilica which was initially to commemorate all 2,500 Notre Dame affiliates who fought in the war, including future presidents Rev. Matthew J. Walsh and Rev. Charles L. O'Donnell. However, later revisions to the plan reduced it to a plaque commemorating the 46 Notre Dame students, alumni, and faculty who died in combat. The Notre Dame Service Club and the local chapter of the Veterans of Foreign Wars collected funds for the which portal bears the inscription "God, Country, Notre Dame".
